Definitely will solve your misfire. Providing of course that the coils are the problem. But 99% of the time coils are the cause of misfiring.

I had the same problem on my R33 and just recently bought splitfire coils from Lynx corporation in Erina central coast. Also put in Splitfire triple platinum spark plugs. I now have no more misfiring and much crispier throttle response. It revs a lot smoother as well.

So in my opinion worth the investment.

Have you tested the coils?

If they are not faulty, then its a plain waste of money. Splitfires are only as good as good condition stock coils

It could is a multitude of other problems, dirty AFM, dirty connections to the coils, plugs etc etc etc

hey all

iam thinking of buying split fire coils for my rb20det will the get rid off the misfire above 4000 rpm and make it run smother.

thanks

Dan

Spend $20 and change the plugs first. 99.9% of the time misfiring is caused by plugs.

:dry: cheers :(

possibly get new plugs and run a smaller plug gap. helps firing and may make your need for coil packs go away. get a workshop to gap them if you dont know how to. i dont know how small a gap you shoud run ither sorry

correct me if im wrong anyone

i always thought splitfires were just an equivalent to std coils... only new and cheaper than $200ea that nissan want!

I didn't know the cost of Splitfires until today. I checked an import site and $470 :happy:. say, whaaaaa!

splitfires are cheaper than standed coils if you shop around . i just brought a set from perfect run 580 bucks delivered to my door in 4 days from japan

You paid $100 for postage?!

They are around $486 converted from YEN and they do delivery by the weight, and coil packs are 1.8KG which is ~$40 to post to Australia. Should be able to have them for $526.

I just ordered some stuff from Perfect Run, the shipping was $55 which is equivelant to 2.5KG

Just out of curiosity, if you happen to have a problem with one or more of these coil units that were imported how do you have the warranty sorted out or coils replaced?

    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
    • I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?
    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
